Abstract
We report on the travelling-wave parametric generation which employs a temperature-tuned LBO crystal pumped by a approximate to 1 ps dye-las er source. Pulses of good spatial quality, tunable from 0.8 to 2 mu m, are obtained with pump pulses of a few microjoules. Temporally struct ured pump pulses allow for the lower thresholds and the shorter time d urations.
